Should Have Said
Crashlanding on an alien world may be the best thing to happen to two friends when one harbors a secret.
We crashed on this world two weeks ago, full of lush jungles and sparkling oceans. Yesterday, after some trouble with their sacred beast, we met the Thara, the native sentient species of humanoid cobras.
We were invited to their home caves.
Now one of them has taken a liking to Lari and has challenged me to a battle. They believe we are mated even though we are not.
As I step into the stone circle of combat, Lari is worried for me, and I wonder if I should tell her that I've been in love with her since we met.

Whispering Woods Challenge Winners
Congratulations to Morgan Christy Rickards for their winning Whispering Woods story, Guardian at the Gate. Morgan has been a Vocal creator since February 2021, and this is their first time placing in Challenge — well done, starting with a win! Guardian at the Gate draws evocatively from Welsh tales of the Cantre'r Gwaelod, a lost sunken kingdom between the forest and the sea. Heledd’s dangerous adventure pulls her towards the water but her spirit is anchored in the woods: Morgan’s writing is atmospheric and exciting.
